Percy stood there fiddling with riptide, his fingers itched to open the blade and run away as fast as he could but that would be cowardly, he had to receive his punishment from the gods alongside Nico. "For disobeying the rules of hades and attempting to bring back two other demigods, we have decided your fate. Banishment." Zeus declared and when he looked up he saw the faces of the twelve Olympians all looking at him and Nico coldly, correction- ten Olympians were looking at him coldly, his father refused to look at him and was very focused on the hem of his robe. Hades was too busy trying to read Nico to be bothered to look at him. He lowered his head in disgust and focused on something else, they were in camp and around him stood around fifty campers, including Annabeth who looked stricken. Everyone believed that they had tried to bring back Selena and Beckendorf from Hades wrath, no one apart from Nico and himself knew that he had succeeded. He thought back to when Hades found them.

Being the son of Hades Nico was able to free the restrictions of their friends spirits and lead them with Percy's help to the stone path that led up to the door of Orpheus "Damn, my father has sensed us. We need to get out," the black haired boy hissed back at them, Selena and Beckendorf had been becoming less transparent the closer they came to the mortal world, they both shivered though when they heard Nico's warning, Percy had to think quickly "Nico, shadow travel them to the place we discussed, I will be fine." He ignored Nico's protests about leaving him so the other demigod had no other choice but to sigh and disappear into one of the many shadows that danced along the tunnel's walls. He kept climbing as fast as he could but soon the trail became treacherous and he had to slow down, he breathed heavily and turned to look over his shoulder to see if Hade's was following but he gave a yelp of surprise which wasn't very heroic at all when he turned round and came face to face with a fuming black eyed god.

"How dare you try to disobey the rules of death?" Hades had bellowed and Percy had to restrain himself from hiding behind the nearest boulder from the sheer amount of fear that was being emitted by Hades helm of darkness. Instead he straightened up and looked his uncle in the eye without saying a word, Just as Hades was about to blast his socks of (clean, courtesy of mum) off, Nico fell through the shadows and landed at his Father's feet with a grunt. Hades eyes widened for a second in shock before turning to anger again "You HELPED him?" he yelled and Nico just nodded, Percy hadn't noticed before but there was two ghost behind him, he wondered why Nico had returned with Selena and Beckendorf but decided that it wouldn't be the best time. Hades face turned slowly turned red as he sent the two ghosts to asphodel instead of where they were before because they had tried to escape their accommodations had been downgraded but even Hades couldn't send them to punishment because they had been heroes. In a blast of black light the two demigods had been teleported back to camp and pushed away in disgrace in front of everyone who had looked up to them.

He collected his thoughts because he realised that Athena was speaking "Due to your crimes you shall not come near camp half-blood again for the rest of your lives, no other demigod shall speak to you. You are to be treated as an outcast. The usual punishment is death but as you helped save Olympus it wouldn't be right." She smirked as she never liked the relationship between him and her daughter. Percy looked back at Annabeth and asked her quietly "Will you come with us?" she looked around nervously and lowered her eyes to the ground, Percy hadn't known it then but that would be the last time he would see the beautiful grey eyes for a long, long time "I can't seaweed brain," a tear dropped to the floor and she turned her back to him "My family's here." She ran away and didn't look back, he felt betrayed and a cold felling prickled down his spine, he turned to Thalia who had shown up when Artemis had turned up for counsel and didn't have time to find something to occupy her hunters with. She stepped forward but her father Zeus held out his hand "You have done nothing wrong, I forbid you to go." He ordered and Artemis also added in "You also cannot leave my service until you die in battle," Thalia pondered for a second before Percy saw her face light up with an idea, she ducked past her father's hand and kissed Nico full on the lips, behind her Artemis almost choked with fury "Fine then, leave. I want nothing more to do with you she snarled and the other hunters, who had been Thalias friend minutes before turned up their noses at her and refused to look her in the eye, Zeus however was beyond words, it wasn't till Poseidon muttered the words "Go." That he was able to break his trance and disappear in a flash of lightening, Nico and Poseidon started forward to talk to their children but Nico just grabbed Thalia and Percy's hands tightly and shadow travel them away.
